Hey Where did you get the tail ?

Anyone think of a title for this ?

A shoulder to cry on

A heavy load

Connection

Too much to drink

Brian,

I know that you have written in the past that your motivation has been more an interest in entomology than aesthetics, but you have an exceptional eye as well as exceptional technique. These are simply breathtaking. Have you ever considered putting together an exhibition of these?

Beautiful work!

Thanks for the comments all - appreciated

Capularis- you just don't breathe near them

Dan - I suppose I use waterdrops as a more artistic outlet then bugs - I just find them endlessly fascinating and I do try to get interesting compositions. There is a sort of exhibition of shots here- http://www.filemagazine.org/projects/flowerdrop/ and I do get a lot of blog coverage of these shots.

Brian, your waterdrop photos are very beautiful. Is there a site I could go to learn more about how to make them?

These simply blew me away! Amazing, amazing work! I hope you are selling these somewhere. TOO cool to not be a poster!

Thanks louisa

There is a tutorial here http://www.wonderfulphotos.com/articles/macro/dewdrops/
You do really need to be able to shoot at 2:1 magnification or higher for these type of shots. ie a 100mm macro lens with a full set of Kenko ext tubes would do.
